I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

You are worth 400 million dollars - you now have every privilege, every freedom, and every safety. Your life's hardships pale by those of the millions of people whose lives you dismiss and whose tormentors you protect. And you did it for more money from even richer people. You deserve this.

She and her children didn't deserve to be abandoned by the world, by human rights, nor by some pathetic singer-songwriter. All she was is unfortunate to be born Palestinian in a world that has fully accepted genocide from the violent occupiers in Israel. You, Ed, however, have earned all of this.

You know who has a right to feel abandoned, Ed? The dead mother of three who had the grim fortune of being murdered by Israel before her last surviving child was also buried as "#220", because nobody could say from charred remains which dead baby is which. www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/deva...

Wat niet iedereen lijkt te begrijpen is dat de aangevallen partij vaak helemaal niet heeft gekozen voor oorlog. Mensen die pleiten voor vrede dienen druk uit te oefenen op de agressor, niet op het slachtoffer. Zo moeilijk is het niet.

🇫🇷 French International Criminal Court (ICC) judge Nicolas Guillou, sanctioned by President Trump in August because of the court’s warrant for Netanyahu, says he has been cut off from basic financial and digital services.

“I discovered that almost all payment methods in France today are American,” Guillou said. “The only cards we have in France are Visa and Mastercard.”

He can no longer use Amazon, Airbnb, Booking or Expedia, and some UPS deliveries to his home have also been blocked.

French officials say efforts to lift the sanctions have seen no U.S. response. “If judges are afraid to judge… then we no longer have democracy,” Guillou told France Télévisions.Paul Larrouturou
